The teams have also summarized the first week of the JõuluQ Energy Challenge. Yesterday, 56 participants submitted feedback. On average, it’s safe to say that participants are still quite happy after the first week. Respondents were most satisfied with our challenge coaches, who scored a total of 8.8 points on a 10-point satisfaction scale. Participants rated their own performance at 8.13 points. They were slightly more satisfied with their teammates, who received a rating of 8.5. Of course, there were also several respondents who gave their teammates a rating of 1, but this naturally happened when the team failed to meet its weekly goals.
The FitQ platform received slightly more criticism from respondents, as it failed to record the workouts of several challenge participants, particularly at the beginning of the week. Fortunately, by the end of the week, we got things running more smoothly, and users gave us a rating of 6.78.
Weekly Bonus Task
The extra task for the week was for each team to create a photo collage of their video workouts and upload it to our Facebook group. This creative task sparked the imagination of many, and we received several interesting submissions.
The coolest creation came from Team Krankenwagen, who had the good fortune to include a magician in their performance—he cut the team members into four pieces and then put them back together again, as you can see in the photo.
Why did people take on the workout challenge?
Here are a few quotes from our participants explaining why they joined the challenge. Goals related to weight loss and building habits stood out the most. There were also those who wanted to build muscle strength, for example, to participate in ski marathons. Some set more general goals, while others set very measurable ones, such as completing all the workouts or losing 3 kg. A few also stated specifically and boldly that they joined in the hope of winning a prize.
Quotes from participants
"To lose a little weight and get back into a comfortable workout routine."
"By the end of the challenge, I should have developed the habit of moving and working out every day, as well as the ability to make time for it alongside my other daily activities. I’m definitely going to be more energetic and stronger by the end of the challenge. :)"
"Top 10 with my fellow participants—encouraging each other without even realizing it!"
"My goal is to take part in ALL the workouts, even though it sometimes feels like I won’t have time with the kids, singing, and everything else. I guess family dinner will always be late now, 😂"
"My goal is actually to see this through to the end and get in better shape by Christmas. I usually go to other workouts 4 times a week, and I joined with a lot of doubts, but actually, working out together is so exciting that I somehow always find the energy and time. This week I managed a total of 12 workouts, plus a few rounds of disc golf in the snowy forest."
"Get a little fitter, lose up to 5 kg, fit into my party clothes, and most importantly, establish a routine to follow and stick with until next Christmas 🤩"
*The challenge took place in 2021.
